I thought that Wendy Davis' s website was a train wreck. First screen I got to was asking for donations and it took me a minute to find the link to skip it.

Plus I find it hard to get excited about her since I hadn't even heard of her until the whole filibuster thing.

Man, Democrats couldn't have picked a more boring candidate even if they tried. Wendy Davis is doing bad even among women. At this point, I think Leticia Van Der Putte would have been a better choice to run for Governor.

Except that is not at all what is happening. If anything, I think people see the writing on the wall. This really isn't about Wendy Davis. It is about Battleground Texas at this point.

I dunno, it shouldn't be that surprising. Latinos of all stripes tend to get lumped together, but there's definitely a racial component within those cultures that is frequently ignored. And everyone knows it, they just pretend like they don't or that it doesn't mean anything. But when you look at your average Latino Republican, and then at the people we're talking about when we speak about the growth of the Latino demographic as a whole, they're not the same sort of person with the same type of experience. I know we don't like to toss around words like mestizo and such, but they do describe actual divides in Central and South American cultures. Race doesn't stop meaning things to some people just because you cross an arbitrary line. The fact that we do tend to treat them as some giant monogroup is kinda poo poo, really.

I remember I got really pissed at my Hispanic ex girlfriend from McAllen, because she kept referring to "White Mexicans" and how she didn't like them. I was seriously puzzled about it, but now that I am a bit older, I think I can see where she is coming from.

I'm in a class about Tejano history since the breakaway of Texas and Spanish-style racism is wayyyy crazier than the equivalent system in the British colonies at the time.

It's actually fairly similar to the system in the US today, to be honest (There are some established racial hierarchies but you can be "one of the good ones" if you have land/money, or vice versa if you don't).

e: Actually it's kind of interesting because white supremacists totally tried the "we'll make you honorary white people if you hold down the black people" tactic back in Reconstruction. It didn't work.

David Montejano has a pretty good book with a marxist take on the forming of Texas. It is worth a read, and explains how Whites and Mexicans formed certain alliances to achieve wealth. But basically, it gets downright confusing as hell.

Nobody can be accountable for photo ID and denying voters the right to vote other than Republicans. It was as transparent a power play as all get out and when people are presented with evidence of little to no voter fraud, you hear the same fallacies about bank accounts and poo poo.

So while the Dems are terrible, the Republicans are off the loving map.

Lone Star is a pretty good Texas movie, although there is a twist and plot point towards the end that weirded me out when I saw it.

In other news, one of my former friends recently became the BGTX field director. http://blog.mysanantonio.com/texas-politics/2015/01/battleground-texas-replaces-field-director/

He's very politically minded, but I honestly don't have much faith. He has a lot of charisma and charm but I still think he is very inexperienced with the political game. I honestly think there are much more capable people out there.

Corpus Christi just voted to get rid of Uber. Of course people are upset. They are so starved for more businesses to be around that they never think of the long term repercussions. But I am sort of glad I left. Got way too involved in the political scene down there to the point where there are some people that I absolutely detest.
